Outstretched on the wheel’s arms crucifying, + 

Tangled in bonds whence escape is none, + 

Shrieking that warning the whole world o’er. + 

And his cloud-mate, unblessed of the Graces, bore + 

A monstrous child⁠—such dam never more + 

Nor such offspring shall be, ’neath a black curse lying + 

Of menfolk, of godfolk⁠—a thing to shun! + 

And the cloud-mother reared that evil abortion + 

And named Kentaurus. By Pelion’s foot + 

In Magnesia he mated with many a mare; + 

And a horde of monsters was born of them there + 

Wondrous to see, for the likeness they bare + 

Of either parent; the upper portion + 

As man was shapen, the nether as brute. + 
